Each ? particle in a beam of ? particles has a kinetic energy of 5.1 MeV. Through what potential difference would you have to accelerate these ? particles in order that they would have enough energy so that if one is fired head-on at a gold nucleus it could reach a point 1.4  10-14 m from the center of the nucleus?
The uncertainty in a particular short-lived nuclear excited state is 1.8 eV. What is the smallest lifetime, in seconds, that this state can have?
Radius of an atomic nucleus is of the order 2.8 fm. What is the minimum energy that an electron should have to be found inside the atomic nucleus? Is this possible in reality? Explain.
